Refrigerator not cold 2014 233S

Just noticed the refrigerator in our 233S isn't as cold as I would like. The drinks are only cool but certainly not cold. It's been running for a few days so I know it's had plenty of time. Has anyone else had this problem? The manual says they are not adjustable..It is in the 90's out and we don't run the AC during the day, is it just too stinking hot outside for it to overcome the temp.?

Would help if you gave a brand & model no. Do you have fans on the outside of the refrigerator?

there is a thermister on the cooling fins that you can raise and lower to vary the temp.
should have a sticker with arrows up and down.

in hotter outside temps, i've heard that fridge fans help out.
also, you don't mention if it's running on electric or propane.

The frig will run better with propane when it's hot outside, as the propane will get it hotter (increases the temperature differential). The thermistor should be slid up to lower the temperature in the frig. (Ours falls out of the little clip easily, and then the we get no cooling. You ought to get youself a frig thermometer, too, so you can better judge what's going on.
